The trolls and elves in these stories are based off the versions found in the Gold Digger comic, so if you know the lore behind a handful of the races native to *Jayd-Realm*, then why they can't reproduce with each other becomes pretty clear. No spoilers, for those that haven't read it. 😁

Minos, Dweomer, Orakis and Athlezon came from the 2nd gen gardeners that escaped the Dynasty when they first uncovered gaoblin magic. There were other races that sprung up during the Age of wonders but these came from the "Olympians"(2nd gardner refugees). Those are all human with permanent mods to aura.(And therefore their physiognomy). These mods were there to grant talents to the "Olympian" slaves/toys. (The olympians were assholes.) Dweomer architects/engineers Minos construction/textiles Athlezon sports/"entertainment" Orakis military/general labor The mods make them all compatible with each other. Since the Olympians were lazy, they didn't want to think too hard about compatiblity for breeding. The mods are: Any male DOMA (Dweomer Orakis Minos Athlezon) Outputs Human+Their Mod duel class seed.>> So if they went with a female human, there would be a human infant. If they went with a Modded female the duel class egg would take over. Any female DOMA's duel class egg can take a mod or human seed. The infant will be either the seed's mod (or no mod) or the female's mod. So a female Dweomer with a human husband will have human or dweomer infants. A Orakis husband will let the female have Orakis or Dweomer infants. The Athlezon females (Amazon) kinda hacked into this aura mod... Big time. Now Amazon Breeders can produce ANY humanoid infant. (Not just Olympian DOMAs) NOW!!!! Elves and Trolls... are extraterrestrial in origin. They are a hijacked race. The original Elf and Troll species were exterminated and replaced by the Dynasty's first thralls, the Gaoblin. The Gaoblin went into deep hiding when the Dynasty left the prime material to hide in Quasispace.(And later beyond... because they thought the prime material was about to be eaten.) To cover up their warcrimes, the Gaoblin disguised their entire species to be the surivors of their victims. The elves, the trolls, the atlantians and the krynn. But they weren't as good at aura modding as the gardeners or their offshoot faction the dynasty. Initially the buggy mod made any cross species breeding produce a GAOBLIN infant. And they couldn't have that smoking gun lying around. So they patched the bug. now crossbreeding is impossible. TLDR Elves and Trolls can't crossbreed because their dark galactic secret origin would be uncovered by the infant, so eons ago, their ancestors "patched out" any crossbreeding efforts with a species-wide, ancient, soul-aura curse.

Josie's on a vaaaacation farrrr a way...come around and talk it oooover!

LOL! borrowed that joke!

I can empathize with your wish to see more original works from the mind of the lead researcher in booty-science, but I think you might be forgetting that we have something in place for that already in **Doc's Choice** where he literally has license to do anything he wishes and **Doc's Vacation** which is exactly what it says it is. Plus, each of those is their own category. Also, a by product of what you're suggesting is that the patrons will have overall less agency going forward, which some may take issue with. The Goof Offs are valid targets for topic nomination depending on which genre they fall under, so there's nothing stopping them from becoming full-fledged Booty Comics, the community just has to agree on it is all. I hear there used to be a time when patrons didn't get to nominate pairings at all and only got to choose from a handful that the Booty Doc selected. Maybe that might be worth bringing back every 2 months, rather than stripping the patrons of agency completely.

An Octo-face if you will lol
